Sheldon (aka Sheldor the Snuggler)

At Upstate Underdog Rescue we believe that Every Dog Has A Superpower. It doesn’t take long to see that the mild-mannered Sheldon’s superpower is snuggling. When faced with a couch, a human, and a blanket he can make himself “invisible” within minutes. (Although, to be honest, all you have to do to find him is follow the snoring…)

If your life is missing a loving and devoted canine companion, Sheldon just might be your man! He adores belly rubs, has ears of velvet which just beg to be scratched, and loves to be as close to his person as he can possibly get. He’s up for pretty much whatever his human suggests. You want to hang out in the backyard with the occasional ball throw? OK! Want to take a walk? Sure! Want to go to class and learn something new? That would be fun! When out and about in the world, he’s interested in what’s going on around him, but isn’t fazed by unexpected things like bike riders or barking dogs. No matter what the day holds, though, Sheldon likes to end it the same way--with a nice long nap on the couch with a human. (Snuggling is his superpower, after all!)

While Sheldon doesn’t generally react to animals he encounters out in the world, he can have a hard time sharing his space in his home. Because of this, he’ll be most comfortable as the only free-roaming pet in his forever home.
